@TonyBagnall @hadifawaz1999 do these changes seem reasonable? DLs are breaking, but i think that is more of a DL issues than the changes here.

[hadifawaz1999]

@MatthewMiddlehurst not only DL seems dictionary based are failing too here
is there something that these changes assume sub classes are doing ? because it seems it assumes n_timepoints is an attribute somewhere defined, which most sub classes don't do

[MatthewMiddlehurst]

It likely has to do with no longer allowing storage of metadata via predict. Just want to make sure the current changes are fine before we fix any of the broken stuff.

Changes look good just a couple of comments @MatthewMiddlehurst

[TonyBagnall]

basic structure looks good to me

[MatthewMiddlehurst]

@chrisholder any issue with the cache change? currently I think it runs when collecting tests, or at least it did for some reason locally.

@hadifawaz1999 there was a conflict with the testing PRs, could you approve again?
